Re: Justin Fields traded to Pittsburgh for conditional pick

Thank god this is over. Strong this. The market was the market. It's not what I would have expected a few weeks back either, but I am thrilled this is done with. I am sure the team/staff/front office is as well. No more speculation, debates, etc. Everyone moves on. Fields is a hard worker, class ac...

Re: Loosest of speculation: Bears may push to sign RB Saquon Barkley

If we sign a FA RB, the meatball in me wants it to be Jacobs. After all I've got him in our Keepers League. My real Meatball Moment is Derrick Henry and then run him behind Jenkins and Wright. Put a TE on the right side as the cherry on top. Get like 7 yards a carry. https://media3.giphy.com/media/...

Re: WK 11 // Bears (3-7) @ Lions (7-2)

Have a feeling that Fields comes back running a lot and has a good performance. Also, that we may even win. Outside of Edmunds, we're really healthy.

All that means, though, is that we'll be down 21-3 at half.

If you've been praising Bagent for his play but dogging Fields for the last couple of seasons, it's kind of asinine. The only things you can really say after his whopping 14 NFL pass attempts are: 1. He was undrafted! Great value! 2. He turned the ball over 2 times in 1.5 quarters. 3. His best pass...

Re: Momentum: Will we see it Sunday?

We’re definitely going to see momentum from Fields, there’s simply no question about it. 8 TDs in 2 games? Fields is going to say “8? Hold my beer”. I’d say 5-6 TDs against the Vikes. 350-400 passing yards. Mooney and Moore are going to contribute. The Vikes are in BIG trouble when they face the be...

Bears weirdly hang around first half. Trail only 13-10.

Chiefs pull away second half and the inevitable happens.
